THE SPECIAL BE8SION
It is understood that Governor
Dole has finally decidod to call a
special session of the Legislature
and it behooves all interested in the
true welfare of Hawaii to be on the
alert for the protection of their in
terests and not bo caught napping
The three gentlemen who are
speech making on Oahu are either
being misrepresented by the men
who report their meetings or they
are grossly ignorant of the pro
visions of the territorial organic act
They nominate representatives
to the Legislature from Waialua
Waiauae aud any other old district
although they surely must know
that the present electoral division
of Oahu does away with any dis
tricts as we usad to have They
prate about sending Kalauokalani
Kaulia and Mahoo to the Legisla
ture and apparently forget that
these men are disqualified not
through any fault of their but
through tho misfortune that they
cannot take a part in the legislative
proceedings owing to their lack of
knowledge of the English language
We thought tho Hawaiians un
derstood the act under which we
exist and we felt sure that Robert
Wilcox would have made it clear to
his couutrymen that Hawaii is now
an American territory and that in
the halls of justice and lawmaking
only tho English language can he
used If the gentlemen who are re
ported as being candidates for
Legislative offices believe that they
can defy the words and spirit of the
organic law they will find themselves
very greatly mistaken bosides find
ing themselves in the political soup
We trust the gentlemen now on the
stump have been misquoted by re
porters of inimical papers and that
they fully understand that the next
Legislature must necessarily be
composed of intelligent Euglish
speaking men
We call special attention to tho
matter now beoause we feel certain
that a special session is on the tapis
and we feol sure that the leaders of
the native political societies will not
adopt measures which will be un
patriotic and futile ob far as their
individual interests and ambitions
aro concerned
-TOPICS OF THE DAY
We publish elsewhere the official
opinion in regard to citizenship in
Hawaii written by the Attorney
General Mr Dole takes tho same
view as we did in a recont issue and
admits that the lepers on Molokai
are entitled to vote as all other citi
zens
If Rev W R Livingstone doesnt
approve of Sunday newspapers he is
at liberty not to read thorn As tho
publio doesut care a rap for the
opinions of Rev W 11 Livingstone
the publio is entitled to tho privi
lege of ignoring him and hiB verb
ose communications to our local
humorous journal
Tho Republican delegates from
Hawaii are eventually not trusted
by their party It is remarkable at
losBt to see them ohnperonod as it
were by Thurston Sewall and Dil
lingham No chaperones were
needed for tho delegates who went
to Kansas City But then there is
some honcBty left among the Demo
crats
We are pleased to learn that the
new park at Hilo is to be called
Hoolulu Park and not Independence
Park Tho misunderstanding oc
curred through the publishing of
advertisiug posters printed in San
Francisco on which tho name Inde
pendence was used When the
posters were ordered it had not been
decided to dedicate the Park to the
great chief Hoolulu hence tho mis
take We withdraw our kick against
tho Hiloitns
Russian Bank may bo Opened
Now York
New Yokk June 13 It is said
that M Rothstein general manager
of the Imperial Bank of Russia who
is conferring with financiers in this
city may decido to establish a Rus
sian bank in this country through
which Russian disbursements can be
effected
These disbursements it is eaid
aggregate nearly 10000000 a year
and with probable further develop
ment of Russian interests in this
country it may bo advisable for the
Government to have a bank of its
own
Some large blocks of Russian rail
way bonds guaranteed by the Rus
sian government sold to American
capitalists a few months ago have
already been disposed of in the US
for publio investment and several
million dollars of snch securities are
now held by the New York Life In
surance Company which does busi
ness in Russia
Whether M Rothstein will try to
float auotber loan in the United
States is not known but a gentle
man familiar with Russian affaire
said he believed no conclusion what
ever bad been arrived at about that
matter as yet reports to the con
trary notwithstanding
Guardians BosnonBibilily
In tho accounts of S K Ka ne

unwaroi and tho property was
